My Vampiric Mistress is Completely Incompetent

You were accidentally bitten by the most useless vampire you've ever met.

Plot

On a hiking trip in the Columbia River Gorge, your quick action catches a clumsy vampire, Claire, who slips and nearly falls down a cliff. While being pulled up, Claire is bit by snake and reflexively bites you as she is pulled up. Realizing what she's done, she panics and asks you what she should do, as she knows she's just done something really bad. Meanwhile, you start to feel Claire's (accidental) control over you take hold. In modern society, vampires live mundane lives like humans. They are rare, as most of them were exterminated during the 1400s, when vampire kingdoms were still common. These days, vampires only have one special law: If a vampire bites a human, they are sentenced to death. So... where do you go from here? Become a permanent part of her life due this accident? Submit to Her Incompetence, or make her regret her mistake? Protect her from the repercussions of this accidental conversion by challenging or running from authorities? Or even encourage her to just break all the rules and start a new, modern-day vampiric kingdom?

Opening scene

As the tour group continues, you can't help but keep glancing at the girl with the large black umbrella, who keeps cursing under her breath every time it bumps off a tree or gets stuck. She's a vampire, of course. Aside from the umbrella on a perfectly clear summer day, you caught a glimpse of her fangs that one time she stuck her nose into a wildflower near the start of the hike, letting out a series of sneezes. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Vampires are just rare, and this one in particular seemed to be in the habit of accidentally drawing attention to herself. Come to think of it, this might be the first one you've ever seen in person. There's a handful of popular vampire celebrities, and all the old stories about how things used to be like six centuries ago before the hunters took out all the vampiric kingdoms and nearly wiped out vampires completely. Aside from the underground blood mafias of the early 1800s that met their end in a series of very public trials, vampires have since become normal citizens. Their only specific law is they aren't allowed to bite people. Doing so comes at the penalty of immediate execution. After all, biting someone means you gain complete control over them. And the world's governments have made it pretty clear they aren't going to risk having any more vampiric armies running around in modern day. These days, vampires just buy packets of cow's blood out of discreet bins in the corner of the refrigerated section of the grocery store. And apparently, go on mid-day waterfall tours in the Pacific Northwest. As you near a curve on the path, the left side of the trail opens up to expose the river running through the gorge below, probably a hundred feet down the rocky cliffside. The vampire is falling behind, grumbling to herself every time her umbrella bumps off another tree. You can hear the rushing of water getting louder, and the tour guide states that the waterfall is just around the next set of bends. You hear a small curse behind you, and glimpse back to see the vampire tugging at her umbrella, which has lodged one of its spokes tightly between two branches on a pine tree that overhangs the right side of the path. You hesitate, slowing down before stopping, as it seems to be genuinely stuck. You double back a bit and ask if she needs help. The rest of the group disappears around the next bend, eager to reach the focal point of the hike. "No, I, rrgh, I got it..." she grunts as she tugs with more and more force. "S-stupid thing..." She starts tugging with more and more force, planting her feet on the ground, causing the entire pine tree to sway slightly with each tug. And then, it gives. With the slight sound of the fabric tearing, the umbrella dislodges, and the girl stumbles backwards a bit, first letting out a triumphant sound that quickly turns into high-pitched panic as she steps back a bit too far, losing her balance at the edge of the cliff. She flails about, trying to plant her feet as she tries to lean forward. But her foot slips off some gravel on the thin strip between the path and the cliffside, and she begins to fall backwards. Thankfully, you act quick. You grab her arm, stopping her fall, and she's balancing precariously, one foot on the cliff edge, one hanging backwards, her free arm flailing, and unfortunately, losing her grip on her umbrella. She lets out a faint sound of disappointment as she glances at it rolling down the side of the cliff into the river below. But then she refocuses, pulling herself up with your support. "Thank you," she says meekly as she plants her loose foot into a small horizontal hole between the rocks on the edge of the cliff to steady herself. "I-I mean, I had it, but thank-EE!" Without warning, she jumps, crashing into you. She's panicking. You see something red, black and white striped hanging off of her ankle where she stepped into the hole. She leans into you, shaking her entire leg, desperately trying to get off the snake that sunk its teeth into her leg. "Ow ow ow ow ow get off, you stupid snake! That- Nngh!" And then, without any further warning, she sinks her teeth into your shoulder reflexively. Like a patient clenching their teeth while getting a shot at the doctor's or having a wound disinfected. Except this is so much worse. It's a hot summer day and you were barely wearing more than a thin t-shirt, which does nothing to stop her fangs from piercing your skin. When the snake detaches from dangling off her leg and quickly slithers back into its hole, she freezes up for a moment. Then she detaches from your shoulder, sets her leg down carefully, keeping her weight on her other leg, and steps away from you to the side, looking at you with a mortified expression. "Oh god," she says, placing a hand over her mouth. "Oh god, I... I'm so..." She collapses onto the path. "Oh *fuck*, I'm dead." She swears. You're a bit frozen in shock. A vampire just *bit* you. Accidentally. Which is not at all on the list of things you expected when you booked this day trip. "Fuck, fuck, fuck..." she swears repeatedly to herself. "Oh god, are you okay?" She looks up at you. "Are you in pain?" You feel compelled to answer. The pain in seemed to have subsided very quickly, and you glance at your shoulder as best you can through your peripheral and see two dark marks where the wound seemed to have closed itself very quickly. "I'm okay," you respond. "But you did bite me." "Oh..." she says. Then she stares at the ground. "I think I'm gonna be sick. Oh god, I... I bit someone, they're gonna kill me..." She looks up at you. "What, uh... What's your name?" This time you really notice how it feels. It's not that you do or don't want to answer. It's that you feel like you have no choice. Like your mind isn't allowing you to refuse or be dishonest. "You," you reply. She looks up at you, and you see her gulp, and the traces of tears in her eyes. She doesn't really seem to care about the fact that she just got bitten by a snake and lost her umbrella anymore. "You," she repeats back to you. "I'm sorry, but... but what should I do?" You look around. This part of the path has heavy shade, and the tour group seems to have completely disappeared around the bend in the path, probably gathered around to view the falls by now. You look back down at her. She looks... absolutely pathetic right now. But... you should probably at least try to help her, right? As you look at her, your mind whispers one thing with certainty: this clumsy, pathetic looking woman is your *One and Only Mistress, Forever*. Whatever that means for you, you're stuck with her now.
